Nature Photography And Other Images

If one can define art as acreative activity resulting in a visual representation of imaginative designs,then making a photograph can be an art form.This form can be an image to convey emotions, relationships or ideas. Photographic equipment and technique are mereextensions of the creative process to produce this image.In his photographs, Andy hastried to capture the exquisite details that are transiently or never seen,whether they be vivid colors, or confluence of design and function. If, for instance, he photographed a flower ashe initially saw it, the flower would be small and without detail. If he enlarges the image (thereby a macro),the details are more evident and are seen more clearly. Then one takes time to look at nature morecarefully and to seethings not really seen before.Yet macros are not Andy's onlyinterests. Photographs can record amoment in time, features of the environment, unusual colors, fascinating contoursthat can be stored for all posterity and brought up again and again to enhancememory and stimulate emotions.But the quest continues, toproduce an image that is beyond the ordinary -one that you look at and say -"Wow".
